EDITORS COMMENTS
The Town Hall at Louvain, Belgium, once a proud symbol of the city's rich history and architectural heritage, stands in ruins at the onset of the First World War. The inset image shows Kaiser Wilhelm II, the German Emperor, reviewing his troops on the eve of the conflict that would bring devastation to this beautiful Brabantine town. The Town Hall, built in the late gothic style, had stood the test of time for centuries, but was unfortunately not spared during the war. While popular belief holds that the building was reduced to ruins by the invading German forces, historical records suggest that it actually survived the conflict relatively unscathed. Nonetheless, the image of a once grand and majestic building lying in ruins became a powerful symbol of the devastating impact of the war on European cities and communities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Louvain and the profound impact of the First World War on its people and their heritage.
